    Wouldn't it be fun to see Tyson comeback and KO some 5'11 bum?

      seriously I can't stand when people say a boxer is bad for boxing. Just shut up that sounds soo ******. If tyson wants to come back he should. Do you hear nfl people talk about this guy and this guy is bad for the nfl, no. If they did then they are ****** too.

        A shot fighter is bad for boxing, it'll just raise questions about the safety of the sport.

            I think the key is his trainer. He needs a hard arse. Who isn't afraid to tell him hes being lazy and needs to pick it up.

            I love Mike Tyson... can't get enough of him in the ring. Would watch him til he's 90. One of my all-time favorites.

              depends how much Tyson has left in the tank. Boxing isn't necessarily a young man's sport, but boxing at the age of 40 is going over the limit. IMO, Tyson coming back makes the sport look like a joke, he's not young enough to be competitive again and I'm not going watch a 3rd match with Holyfield.

                It would be best for Mike and boxing if he stayed retired. I like him, but don't want to see him fight anymore.

                  Im in the same boat.

                  But Mike will draw a crowd if he fought himself.

                  It could be half decent for the sport.

                  I don't want to see it though.

                  Because his trianer will have no balls, and an under prepared and unfit mike will enter the ring and wont fight more than a couple of rounds.

                    Yeah that would be the problem. If Mike were to come back and fight it would be just for the money. So his performance would be uninspired and I don't want to see that Mike anymore. I just want to remember Mike in the good ole days.

                      As long as both Holyfield and Tyson don't take too much punishment and retire after it, it's good.
                      If it sells well and makes money for both, it's good.
                      What fight is that Holyfield picture from?
